How Fashions Originate.

"If the merchant tailolS now in convention
in this city," said one OF our club men yester-
day, "think they can set the fashion and
make the gilded youth Of this country follow
it by simply deciding in congress assembled
that such and such style of garment is to be
the mode, they are very much mistaken. The
laws governing gentlemen's clothes are at
present set in England by London tailors.
When the tailors want to introduced certain
cut or cloth they ask some titled individual to
wear garment Of that stuff or pattern, and
allow him to set the fashion; they don't try to
do it themselves. You may remember the
fate of the mulberry colored dress suit which
was to take the place of the conventional
clawhammer a few years ago. A more nom
descrpt garment was never invented, and the
pictures of it in the windows were enough to
kill it. Unless the tailors can show more or
iginality, or rather more taste, than that,
they had better be content to follow their
English brethren, or wait until we have some
one in this country who can set the fashion
as the Prince Of Wales does abroad.
"Ths servility with which this distinguished
princes fads are followed is shown at
present in the fashion some OF our smart
young men have Of leaving the lowest button
of their vest unbuttoned The story is that
the prince loosened this particular button one
evening after stag dinner, and that the next
morning all the young men who had been
present appeared in similar state of desha-
billie. The fashion has now reached this
country, though not more than one of a hun
dred Of those who follow it know why OF
care why they do Philadelphia Press.

Sign of the Three Balls,

! While the sign of the three golden balls is
the stopping place of many family in it:
fall from luxury, We do not deal altogether III
second hand wares. We are able to sell goods
brand new at much lower price than they
can be had for at the store from whence they
came. There are ladies, who in need of ready
money, for which they did not like to ask
theE husbands or fathers, have purchased
valuable articles at store where they had
credit, and then sent them to us to obtain a
loan. They get the money they want, and
having no use for the articles they fail to re-
deem them. Their husbands or fathers pay
the bills in blissful ignorance of the little
schemes of their wives and daughters This
is not of frequent occurrence, mark you, but
it has been done, and when once lady has
resorted to this ruse to obtain ready cash, she
will do it on u second occasion 1t is done in
such strict confidence that there is little dan
ger of detection. Again, merchants some
times bring valuables to the pawnshop to put
in trust that they may secure money to tide
them over a temporary difficulty. But they

EtiQuettS of the Hat,

The well bred man raises his hat if he
passes lady, though a stranger, in the hall
of hotel, on the stair, or if he does her any
little service such as restoring her fan or
glove, or if she makes an inquiry of him or
he of her A gentleman walking with an
acquaintance, raises his hat TO those persons
whom his acquaintance salutes but does not
bow.
Gentlemen remove their hats in hotel
elevators when ladies are present. A recent
writer on etiquette considers that this is not
demanded by politeness, at the best, and Is
beside so inconvenient to do when the elevator
is full. that it might well be abandoned alto
gether. The inconvenience mentioned un-
doubtedly occurs at times. Nevertheless this
is pleasant custom and we have not SO
many acts of formal courtesy that it is well
to dispense with any Of them unnecessarily.
A gentleman lifts his hat to his wife,
mother or sister upon meeting them in pub
lie place as deferentialy as to any other lady.
A well bred man also removes his hat upon
entering place of amusement, while an ill
bred man will often take his off only when he
reaches his seat, though that may be far
from the entrance.

Transplanting Native Trees.

Nursery grown trees give, as rule
better satisfaction than do those taken up
from their native localities. This is prin-
cipally owing to the fact that the roots Of
plants growing wild extend further from
the stems than those raised in nurseries.
whore they have been once or oftener
transplanted. Yet, with little extra
care, native trees may be transplantes
successfully. The American Agriculturist
advises that specimens growing in dry and
open situations should be selected. Ar
many and as much of the roots, especially
the fine, 1ibrous ones, that can be dug up
should DO preserved, and care must be
takcn not to expose these to the sun and
winds moro than is unavoidable. The
tops have to be cut back severely, remov-
ing onc-half or two-thirds OF all the
BRANCHES and this is best done before
planting the trees. The holes should have
been dug previously, and whenever prac-
ticable the trees should be taken up and
planted on a cloudy OF damp day.

Mnnures for Garden Purposes.

For garden purposes there Is nothing
better than well rotted stable manure,
with which tobacco stems, bones, leaves
or any refuse vegetable or animal matter
may be composted with advantage This
should be plowed in unless the soil is
quite sandy and the manure very fine,
when it may be applied on the surface,
and simply narrowed or raked in. Plaster,
salt, wood ashes guano, ground bone, all
are valrable and can be used to advantage
In connection with the stable manure.
Plaster should not DO applied until the
plants are vol up. Ashes and salt should
not be mixed with the other manurcs, and
may be sown broadcast and raked in just
before planting. Guano, ground bone
and superphosphate give better results If
one-half is sown broadcast at planting and
the balance when the vegetables ere half
grown. In some cases sand, lenched
ashes and peat on clay soils, and clay and
muck on sandy soils, will prove as valuable
as manurcs. Occasionally spot which
has boon used for garden for many years
will become unproductive in spite of
liberal manurings. We know of 10 other
remedy than to abandon it for garden,
seed down to clover and allow it to remain
two years, whom it may be plowed under,
and the garden will be found to have re-
gained its original fertility.

Oat or Wheat Straw.

The question often arises among farmers
as to the relative value Of oat and wheat
straw for feeding purposes. TO make an
accurate comparison between these straws
it would be necessary that each kind should
be cut at exactly the same stage of ma
turity, while in practice oats are usually
cut at an earlier stage Of ripeness than is
wheat. Wheat straw in an average con-
dition, according to the analysis of as high
an authority as DR.. Volckner, contains
between and per cent. Of fatty matter,
from 2 to 8 per cent. Of heterogeneous COM
pounds, to 6 per cent. of sugar and
mucilaginous matter, soluble in water,
and about 20 per cent. of fiber in suffi-
ciently soft state to yield to the action of
digestive liquids. Dat straw was found
to be somewhat similar in composition as
far as the proportions of oil and nitro
genous compounds are concerned, but it
contained more sugar and eXtractive mat
ter and much larger proportion of digest
tble fiber. While in tho case of wheat
straw rather more than one fourth of the
total fiber is digestible, in the case of oat
straw considerably more than onehalf of
the fiber is soluble. Dat straw, then, as a
rule, is superior in feeding value, because
it contains a much larger proportion of
digestible fat forming and heat producing

The Cues are Troublesome

There have been many good natured jokes in
Washington about the cues worn by some of
the gentlemen of the Chinese legation because
the long plaits of hair are, in the case Of two
or three of them, manifestly attached to their
black skull caps and not to their heads, more
than one of them being perceptibly bald, and
one who came here from New York to attend
the ball at the Chinese legation had short
hair. He were the cue and the Chinese dress
at the legation only, and when he danced he
and the others whose cues were fastened only
to their skull caps, were SO afraid of de-
noucment caused by caps and pigtails being
shaken off by the motion that they were seen
to pin the cues to their garments The present

nese costume and cues being worn by all of
his countrymen when in his presence-Wash-

Some Points About the Way a Garden
Should DO Situated.
The vegetable garden ought never to DO
IN an orchard, or have trees or shrubs
within it, for bost results. The vegetable
garden on farm should be placed, when
practicable, so as to be easily reached from
the barn, to facilitate house cultivation.
A gentle inclination TO the south and east
Is the warmest, will give the earliest vcge-
tables, and he best for corn, melons,
tomatoes, ETC., but it suffers more from
spring or early fall frost, because Of re-
ceiving the direct rays Of the morning
sun. An inclination to tho north and
west is later, suffers less in a drought, and
Is the best for peas, cabbage, lettuce, etc.
So 1t is an advantage in a large garden to
have both these exposures, but for small
gardens gentle inclination to the south
and east or level surface is the best.
The arrangement Of a small garden,
when most or all Of the work is done by
hand, is matter Of taste, but ON the
farm it is quite important to have the
garden so arranged that most Of the work
can be done by horse power.

GRANTS FAMOUS DISPATCH.
"Wc VIII Fight 1t Out Oh This Limo IL

~ AuHcS AL SWUnOTs'

power exercised by Edwin M Stanton when
secretary of war; The ex-genernl Ind bcca
personally and contemporaneousy cogni-
zant Of much OF tho inner history OF tho war
department, as well as of tho affairs at tho
front, when Grant was fighting his way in
tho Wilderness and thereafter on the road to
Richmond. Ito said there was no donbt Of
Stanton's complete control over President
Lincoln when he chose to exercise it, in mo-
mentous war questions as well us small do
tails regarding the conduct Of tho Union
armies. Said the general:
"You people in Washington believe that
Gen. Rawlins worded that stirring teleglaphic
dispatch which Grant sent from the front in
1864 ut time when our congressman were
scared and tho people Of the north were in
dismay ut the terrible slaughter OF our army
as Grant drove Lee toward Richmond.
refer to the dispatch: we will fight 1t out on
this limo il it takes all summer Now, know
about the origin, wording and transmission
of that message. 1t was written by Stanton
when Lincoln was in conference with him in
the war department. They were both alarmed
about the political outlook in tho northern
states. The discouraging accounts from the
seat of war wero telling against tho admins
tration, and the fear, in consequence, tha.
Lincoln would not DO reelected prompted
Stanton to do something which would rcas-
suro tho people, restore confidence in the sue
cesssful termination OF the war in favor of th'
Union cause and inspire more respect for thu
Lincoln administration. Stanton, as a means
to this end, telegraphed to Grant to send some
encouraging news, and Stanton Mt the sane
time advised and wrote out tho form of dis
patch to be transmitted in response to his sug'
gestion.
"Opportunely. and it has been alleged iii
corporation with Stanton, at that moment
knot of senators and members of the house
bot together in secret caucus at tho Capitol TO
ksider the critical situation, and on behalf
VI of them telegram was sent to Grant
ing how they were getting along at the
and what they proposed to do. My
ction is that tho dispatch to which
made answer was prepared and sent by
Sem Nesmith, of Oregon, who was chair
man u that caucus. Grants celebrated
answer, which, as before stated, was that
which had been previously advised by Stan
ton, had the desired effect. 1t gave heart and
to tho people OF the northern
states 1t gave strength to the weakened
political supporters of Lincoln for reelection
to the presidency, and, in fact, the dispatch
was very effective in silencing opposition
among Republicans to Lincoln's candidacy"

her husbands relatives and friends and her
